Now, this is fine artBuckeyeChief scored link gold in the comments earlier with a set of bowling pins that Uni Watch's Paul Lukas says "are among the greatest uni-related projects I’ve ever seen."
Marshall has a set of pins that he originally used for a game called cat bowling (”It consisted of me keeping track of all the pins that they or I knock down in the studio on this homemade Baltimore-themed score sheet”). More recently, he’s given them a Big Ten paint job, with his alma mater serving as the fierce ball that plows into the hapless pins. You can see close-ups of each pin design here — they’re brilliant, although you may notice that Marshall has taken a few liberties with some of the uni designs. He provided a lengthy explanation for that, and also gave the rationale for each pin’s facial expression, all of which is so involved that I’ve chosen to give it its own separate page.
I got nothing. Just lust.

three things:
-AWESOME. awesome awesome awesome. i want. i want bad.
-of COURSE there are reasons for the specific facial expressions, because that's the coolest explanation and the exact same thing i would do.
-vermette is the truth. i don't know why the senators didn't play him all that much, because he's obviously awesome and a penalty killing genius
also i noticed he didn't have a reason for the expression for the buckeye ball, but i think the mixture of rage and supreme irritation is pretty much perfect
I want to know where I can get one of these sets.
I used to check up on that site daily, but it got to be a bit much. A question that was posed on there, why did the basketball team uni's go from LBJ brand (which is Nike) to strictly Nike? I never saw that one answered.
the Vermette goal was SICK
